This doesn't seem to be a notable company. Their product RealFlow is obviously notable, but notability is not inherited. StAnselm (talk) 20:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:13, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Notability not being inherited is not applicable in this case. The notability of company is inextricably linked to its products and services.  So I'd say the company is clearly notable as the creator of notable graphics software used for visual effects that garnered an Oscar.  But regardless, press coverage would indicate they are notable. -- Whpq (talk) 16:15, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Smerge and redirect. As the author of the ontological proof has indicated, this is a business that has a notable product with genuine cultural significance, being used to create computer simulations of various fluid surfaces in cinema.  But this business may not rank a stand alone article apart from its notable product, and the current text is also rank with promotional language: The mission of Next Limit Technologies is to provide cutting edge simulation technologies for a broad range of applications in Computer Graphics, Science and Engineering.... - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. With three separate and acknowledged products this company deserves a separate article. The promotional language is within a quote (an exact copy from the company's website). I have made a few changes to clarify these issues. Pxtreme75 (talk) 16:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
